On 11 September 2013 the official inauguration ceremony for Romania-Laos Business Council was held in the presence of the diplomatic community accredited to Romania, of members of Parliamentary friendship Group between Romania and Laos and included also many members of Romanian Senate, Chamber of Deputies and Romanian Government.

The ceremony was opened by Professor Dr. Anton Caragea, Institute of International relations and economic Cooperation Chairman by a short speech underlining that: “by the inauguration of Romania-Laos Business Council, the first institutionalized cooperation bridge is opened between our country and South East Asia”.

His Excellency Professor Dr. Anton Caragea had emphasize moreover the fact that as a future task: “the Romania-Laos Business Council must support the activity of the business people interested in economic recovery and in the presence of Romanian assets and goods on the future markets of Asia. We hope that the Romanian – Laotian initiative shall be a pole of attractiveness and example for states from South East Asia to discover and choose Romanian products”.

In his opening remarks the President of Romania-Laos Parliamentary Friendship Group, senator Ionel Agrigoroaei highlighted the fact that:

“Laos does not represent our main diplomatic and political partner in the region, but it also has the potential to quickly become an attraction pole for the Romanian investors and for our assets, taking into account in our bilateral relation the memories we have in over 30 years of fructuous cooperation, before 1989.

Undoubtedly, it is the time to recover the markets we abandoned so quickly after 1989, which led to the decrease of the economic production and unemployment.

By its central position, Laos can become the center of activity and export springboard for South East Asia states, which makes the today’s event more important and representative”, concluded Senator Ionel Agrigoroaei.

On the same line where also the remarks made by Senator Vasilica Steliana Miron, Vice-President of Romania-Laos Parliamentary Friendship Group who made the point that: “Laos has quickly become the most important diplomatic partner of our country in the region and it is becoming an increasing economic presence and a realm of potential with a similar history”.

In his key-note speech the President of Romania-Laos Business Council-Mihai Prundianu presented the relevance of the new institution in the economic and diplomatic environment:

“Laos, by its strategic position on the center of Indochina peninsula, represents the ideal location for economic activities, in order to spread the Romanian goods and technology in the entire area.

The symbolical cooperation bridge Vientiane – Bucharest which is being opened today in order to encourage investments and economic activities, will be beneficial for the entire area.

The big projects launched by the Laotian government, among which I would like to mention the Indochina highway, which connects Bangkok to southern China, the chain of power stations along Mekong river, agricultural terracing works and land improvement and the increase of the tourist potential are only a few of the areas where the Romanian expertise can have a word to say”, concluded the new President of Romania-Laos Business Council.

Today we are here to celebrate the Grand Opening of Romania-Laos Business Council. It is a moment to look into the past and into the future.

Romania is a trustworthy member of European Union, integrating itself into the large family of European nations. The highly trained specialists are appreciated all over the world and the boundaries of European Union are only symbolic limits in a globalizing world. And Romania is going global too.

Lao People’s Democratic Republic is a continuously growing and fast developing country. It has all the attributes of a modern nation. The political stability of the country allowed foreign investments and economical relations and partnerships in all areas of activity.

Lao people have access to local and global information, and people all over the world got directly access to information about Lao, about the Lao men and women, about Lao economical potential, culture, religion, history and natural beauties.

During the last years tourism, as an important component of the Lao economy, developed at a tremendous pace. 2012 was the boom in tourism. Prof. dr. Bosengkham Vongdara, the Lao Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism underlined that “tourist arrivals climbed to 3.3 million in 2012, generating income of about US$500 million. Political stability, improved transport and the country’s picturesque scenery make Laos an attractive tourist destination.” This reality is a proof of the synergetic effect of putting information, culture and tourism under the same umbrella, under the same leadership, as part of the Laos national strategic development plan.

We are very proud that Lao People’s Democratic Republic was awarded this year in May, ”The 2013 Best World Destination”, and we are confident that the new Romania-Laos Business Council will bring a significant contribution to the economy of both countries, for the benefit of the well being of the people of Romania and Lao.

We congratulate Mr. Mihai Prundianu, the Council president, for the initiative, and wish him and his team a successful activity together with our Laos partners.

Today, when we celebrate a moment of maturity in Romania-Laos relations, we can discuss about the events which have made this relation a successful structure for the Romanian diplomacy.

The inauguration of Romania-Laos Business Council, the first for the entire region, is a sign of the continuous and strong development of our economic bilateral relations.

The development of the diplomatic relation by the creation of the Honorary Council and unifying by the presence of Mr. Mihai Prundianu of the economic and diplomatic structures is a successful model I wish I saw it applied with all countries in the region and with other diplomatic partners.

Choosing Laos was a conscientious and successful choice.

Not only that Laos has the political maturity and the stability required for a sustained development, but it joins with political power with a fast and constantly developing economy, immune to the current world economic crisis.

The high-level visit organized by PhD. Professor Anton Caragea gave the depth and the necessary human dialogue required for this fast development. The following visit program includes an exchange of visits between the foreign affairs ministers and a new visit o a Romanian delegation in Laos, which will include members of the parliament, under the leadership of PhD. Professor Anton Caragea, which will bring continuity to this dialogue and continuously developing relation.

The parliamentary friendship group Romania-Laos will give its full support to the Romania-Laos Business Council and its President, Mr. Mihai Prundianu, a man of real value, which deserves our trust.

Mr. Prundianu, we congratulate you and we wish you success in the creation and management of Romania-Laos Business Council.
